AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit that can realize small-sized formation and a reduction in cost. It also includes a test technology that can reduce the package size by reducing the number of external terminals in a semiconductor integrated circuit of SIP or the like mounted on a single package. The invention also includes a seal member for sealing the semiconductor chips and the bonding wires by a resin. The invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit that can achieve thin-sized formation and a reduction in cost.

Problems solved by technology

Although the main stream is constituted by SIP of a substrate type in view of a high degree of freedom of leading around wirings, the substrate type is accompanied by high cost.
As a result, there has been found a problem that in a multipins constitution, a semiconductor integrated circuit becomes more large-sized than in the substrate type.

Abstract

To provide a test technology capable of reducing a package size by reducing a number of terminals (pins) in a semiconductor integrated circuit of SIP or the like constituted by mounting a plurality of semiconductor chips to a single package, in SIP 102 constituted by mounting a plurality of semiconductor chips to a signal package of ASIC 100, SDRAM 101 and the like, a circuit of testing SDRAM 101 (SDRAMBIST 109) is provided at inside of ASIC 100, and SDRAM 101 is tested from outside of SDRAM 101, that is, from ASIC 100. By providing the test circuit of SDRAM 101 at inside of ASIC 100, it is not necessary to extrude a terminal for testing SDRAM 101 to outside of SIP 102.
